Wonderful penthouse.We enjoyed it very much.

The apartment was clean and well kept. The views ARE amazing! We loved sitting out on the rooftop decks, sipping wine and watching the sunrise and sunset. It was fun listening to Venice wake up and party into the night. The stairs kept us in shape. I would say that if you are not in shape the walk up to the apartment can be brutal. I think we counted 95 or so steep steps up. Luckily once we got used to them, they were not a problem for us.Barbara was easy to communicate with and a pleasure to deal with. Although I am not savvy with apps and such, she made it very easy. Highly recommend. Once you get past the stairs....the view is AWESOME! Plus it is so conveniently located to everything! So easy to navigate to most anywhere in Venice. And if you ever have any questions or need suggestions Venice 5th is there for you. Absolutely loved our stay and would stay again.

The most incredible gem. I am a fussy neat freak and when I say this place is clean it’s CLEAN! It is also so unbelievably comfortable. Has everything you could possibly need when traveling. The stairs up to the apartment were definitely a hit daunting but I wouldn’t trade the apartment and views for something different.

The owner and property manager are very difficult and do not communicate. They changed the meeting location and were late and left us standing in the rain for 30 minutes even thougjh we had advised when we were leaving the airport. We told her the driver said it would take 20 min and she said inllossible it will be 45 and it was 20. She should have met us at the boat dock but made us find her and then charged is for being a late arrival. No book of restaurant spots or things to do. Just very mediocre hosts. House was nice but mattresses are very hard. Told us we lost a key and charged us for it but we didnt and had left both sets on the table. I should have taken a picture i guess. Would not stay here again. Had so many better experiences in Italy w VRBO.
